Using a simple bzip2 compressed input file like

$ cat test.txt
1 ene
2 mene
3 muh
4 foo

and compressing it with bzip2

$ bzip2 -c test.txt >test.bz2

and then trying to use file() with compress.bzip2 wrapper results in an infinite loop, i.e. never returned out of file():

$ cat test.php
<?
        print_r(file('compress.bzip2://test.bz2'));
?>

Looking at the code in file() using whil(1) { ... } seems dangerous for race conditions. But it actually works with e.g. compress.zlib wrapper and with normal files so I suspect this being a bug in the bz2 wrapper.

Actually it turned out to be a problem in main/streams.c . The fgets emulation code isn't right. I basicall ripped the one from gzgets() from zlib and it works:

+               *buf = '\0';
+               return c == buf && maxlen > 0 ? NULL : c;
        }
 }

Does this sound reasonable, Wez?

Wez is on vacation, just commit it. :)
